Stuccowork
by GHERARDI, Antonio, Stucco
The chapel of St Cecilia in San Carlo ai Catinari, Rome, was done in the late seventeenth century by Antonio Gherardi with a blending of architecture, painting and sculpture. The lower level is rich in fabrics, paintings, movement. Above, the elliptical dome opens over a white setting in which, in contact with the large window illuminating the chapel, stand music making angels.
